My browser is running very slow for the last week. Was fine till then. Do reg virus scans and shows clean. Tried the repair tool in add/remove progs, but still the same. Any thoughts or help greatly appreciated.

Click on Tools / Internet options on the web page and clear your temporary files. Your cache is full.

Thx for quick reply. I usually keep it cleaned out...seems better now. How big should I set my cache for...is at 185mg now..
Thx...Jake

I have mine set for 64mb

I read somewhere that it should be set at 385 megs. That's what mine is set at.

Read this:I set mine this way and haven't had any problems..I agree with Bob

Mine has been set at 61mb by itself a few years ago and never had a problem.

When I go into Explorer, Properties for TIF I see it contains 2.19mb of stuff in it right now. I have been surfing for 45 minutes.

I have IE set to clear it upon exit too.

It could be that your ISP is having problems with the line.

You could call them and have them check.

Beansoup..thx for info...have set my vcache and vmem as in your advice...still doing the same..very slow. When I load a large page with lots of graphics it is almost impossible to scroll though. Was fine last week. Have not installed anything new, Have done a spyware check and comes up clean. Thinking maybe some thing else is running in back ground, but cannot find it. I use avg anti-virus..maybe it is missing something....any more help greatly appreciated...any good on-line scans??

Jake, The Free online Housecall is a good online virus scan. Here's the link.
